If you've always wanted to recite political speeches in front of a live audience, karaoke style, but you are loathe to spend an entire year's salary of worthless US dollars to buy a plane ticket to Europe, then have we got a treat for you! Video artist Diana Arce's "Politaoke" is now coming to 16 different locations across the USA! Starting this past Wednesday, Diana has been touring America with an event mashing up karaoke and political speeches. We don't know exactly what to expect here, but the European version featured speeches from Angela Merkel, former Bavarian State President Edmund Stoiber, and our own lovable ass-faced-idiot-man-child George W. Bush! God help us all! Here is the rundown of when you can catch Politaoke near you.
